So how do I go about getting a template designed for my Joomla site?

1. Take a look at some other websites to get some ideas.
2. Look for the corrrect colours, colours matter, practicle, easy to read.
3. Structure your site to what you want to do with it, keep it simple.
4. Keep graphics & flash to a mimimum. Graphics slow you down, need a balance.
5. How many columns on the left &/or right, what are the columns going to be used for.
6. Where do you want the menu, left or right column, top of page or below the header.
7. Need a footer, what links if any on the footer?

Here are some questions we will ask you:

1. We need 3 colours, web safe colours if possible, else the colours look diffirent on each browser, colours in hex format; eg; #F00000.
2. Site structure: column on left and right, only left, only right, wide or narrow.
3. Header/footer height and width (site width)
4. Menu postion, gloss or flat, cascading?
5. Supply images if possible, else images might need to be purchased.
6. Logo/Branding images, branding text
7. Fonts required, stay with basic fonts, your visitors may not have the same fonts you have installed on your PC.
8. Site style, square/ rounded corners, drop shadows.
9. We need one or two web site links that looks similar or have aspects you are looking for in a web site.

From this information we can set up a draft template, and work from there.

We have an idea of the template what now?

You need to think about the menu structure, what menu items you will be needing, from this you can branch out to content.

Whats great about this site is that you can add the content later, once we have finished the template, uploaded the site for you and configured it, all you need to do is add your content and you have a very professional easy to manage website with plenty more potential.
